Chapter 259: Pursuit (4)

The prosperity of the reef country is different from that of the tea country. Mingguo is like a trickling stream, cheerful and gentle, and the air is full of freshness. Everything in the Reef Country is full of violence, and although it has a glamorous exterior, the interior is as shocking as a pile of rock after a volcanic eruption.

Qin Changfu took his entourage and watched while walking in this reef country. The people here are dressed in the same way as the people of Mingguo, with the rich wearing silk and the poor wearing linen. The food eaten is similar to that of Mingguo, but the cooking techniques are slightly different.

The appearance of the people here varies greatly, some are the same as the people of Mingguo, and some have unusually wide noses, unusually wide mouths, unusually large eyes, or unusually large ears, like the offspring of humans and monsters.

It is conceivable that the people who lived in the reef country at the beginning had a bizarre appearance with big facial features, and the later pirates of the Ming country were the appearance of the people of the Ming country, and almost all the people on the pirate ship were men, and there were a few cooks. These men married women born and raised in the Land of Reef, and three hundred years later, the people of the Land of Reef were like this. Those who look the same as the people of Ming are probably the descendants of pirates and cooks.

Qin Changfu exclaimed: "It's not easy for these people who look like us, and there is no trace of the appearance and characteristics of the human beings of the reef country three hundred years ago in three hundred years. ”

The attendant said, "Your Excellency, these people are gorgeously dressed, and at first glance they are from noble backgrounds. I think that three hundred years ago, it must have been the high-ranking people on the ship who were with the cooks, and they became emperors or other nobles with their descendants. And the low-status people were with the women who were born and raised here, and they became commoners with their descendants. The nobility only intermarried with the nobles, so the people who looked like the Ming Kingdom married the people who looked like the Ming Kingdom, so that the appearance of the offspring would not be affected. ”

Qin Changfu nodded: "That makes sense." ”

He bought some food from the Reef Country, distributed it to his followers, and continued to walk the streets of the Reef Country with them. As far as the eye can see, the gold, silver and jewels seem to cover this entire reef country. Every pedestrian wears jewelry, and even the beggars on the street wear pearl necklaces around their necks and jade bracelets on their hands.

Qin Changfu asked suspiciously, like the entourage beside him, "Strange, that beggar obviously has jewels on him, why didn't he sell them for money?" ”

The attendant shook his head: "I don't know about this little one." ”

Qin Changfu asked another entourage, "Do you know? ”

The attendant scratched his head, thought for a while, and said, "My lord, you can see that the jewelry they wear is obviously strung up by people themselves without careful polishing, and then look at the number of them, it is conceivable that in the reef country, all kinds of ores are also as many as stones, so they can be seen everywhere." And the beggar can't get any money even if he sells his jewelry. ”

Qin Changfu laughed: "I naturally thought of this, but gold, silver and jade are not so easy to take out of the stone, not to mention that even if these jewelry are not very exquisite, it will take a lot of effort." If these pieces of jewelry are as worthless as stones in the Reef Country, then why bother with so much trouble making them? ”

The attendant smiled and scratched his head: "What the adult said makes sense, the villain really doesn't know what the situation is." ”

Qin Changfu smiled: "Let's go to see the emperor of the reef country first, and then go to catch the water demon after getting the instructions." ”

The style of the palace of the Reef Country is unique, and it is added on the basis of the palace of the Ming Kingdom

Some jade gold strings, the carved patterns on the pillars are diverse, and more are dominated by water demon patterns.

Another difference from the Ming Kingdom Palace is that there are many pools and fountains in the Jiaoshi Kingdom Palace, which are extremely novel. There are sculptures of water demons in the middle of several major pools, some dancing, some singing, with different expressions and styles.

After Qin Changfu handed in his documents, he was led by the guards of the Reef Country to the place where the emperor returned to meet the foreign envoys.

"Our Majesty is listening to the rain hall to meet you envoys, you just follow me." The guard said, his extremely wide nose swaying up and down, looking a little funny, like an elf and youkai in a play.

Qin Changfu tried his best not to laugh, but he trembled slightly due to the extreme turmoil in his heart. The little guard seemed to notice his strangeness, bowed his head in inferiority, and said no more. It made him a little embarrassed, and he wanted to say something to ease the awkward atmosphere. Unexpectedly, the little guard spoke first.

"Lord Qin, you don't have to worry about what kind of impact your demeanor will have on me, in our Reef Country, there are many people who look like me, so I don't care at all. I'm just a little envious when I see a handsome boy like you. You are as beautiful as the prince of our reef country. ”

These words made Qin Changfu even more embarrassed: "I'm also a casual person, I don't care about appearance, appearance is useless to me." ”

When the little guard heard this, he was even more envious.

Finally arrived outside the Tingyu Palace, Qin Changfu saw a scene that shocked him: a water demon with long hair and a shawl was locked by layers of chains, struggling with tears, and spitting out all kinds of jewelry due to discomfort. This water demon is a woman, with the same type of black hair, snow-white skin, and delicate facial features as the Ming Water Demon.

"What's going on?" He grabbed the little guard next to him and asked, looking at the water demon's painful appearance, feeling very nervous.

"This is the water demon caught a year ago, this water demon vomited out a string of pearl necklaces when she vomited, so our Majesty ordered people to pour her vomiting medicine every day, so that she vomited gold and silver jewelry every moment."

Qin Changfu suddenly realized that the reason why there were so many jewelry in the Reef Country that he couldn't count them was because of this reason! But this is simply a mess, and there is really no one to persuade the emperor to stop this practice.

He asked again, "Then how can this water demon live without eating?" ”

Although she spits out her jewels most of the time, she still gets to eat three times a day. There is still a half-hour break after the meal. ”

"What are you going to give her?"

"Generally, Wang Sun Guizhou eats leftover fish and shrimp."

Qin Changfu looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart. The water demon of Ming Country is pitiful, but it is only locked in a cage for display, and this water demon has to be tortured and abused like this, living in the form of vomiting most of the time every day, and its body is wrapped in cold chains like this, and there is no hope of escape.

The little guard pulled him away: "Lord Qin, don't worry about this kind of thing, even if you pity her, it's useless, no one dares to disobey the order given by our majesty." To put it bluntly, the people here are all descendants of the pirates of the former Ming Kingdom, and now all kinds of regulations have been carried over from the pirate ship, so this is an unreasonable place. ”

"Can you tell me more about Reef Country?"

The little guard looked left and right, and saw that there was nothing else

The person then whispered: "Lord Qin, secretly tell you the secret of a reef country, this secret is only known to our guards. ”

Qin Changfu leaned over curiously and looked at the little guard: "You say." ”

"Underneath His Majesty's Bedroom, there is a secret escape passage that allows you to escape directly from the Reef Country to the Water Demon's Palace. This was built by the first emperor for a tryst with a water demon. After the new majesty took office, he hated the water demon very much, and in order to avenge his mother, he asked people to seal the two entrances and exits of the passage, and also locked the water demon who seduced the first emperor inside. It is said that every night, the wails and cries of the water demons can be heard there, which is extremely terrifying. For this reason, our Majesty and the Queen Mother have moved to live in another palace. ”

"But why does Your Majesty hate that water demon? Isn't it normal for the first emperor to have three palaces and six courts? ”

"In your Ming country, it is normal for the emperor to have three palaces and six courts, but in the Jiaoshi country, the emperor can only have one wife, that is, the queen's mother."

Qin Changfu listened carefully, and suddenly the little guard fell down with a thud, and there was an extremely deep long wound on his back, and blood came out of it.

Qin Changfu is a martial arts student, so he was only shocked and sympathetic when he saw this scene, and he was not afraid. After he regained his composure, he looked at the other guard behind the little guard, and asked lightly, "Why are you doing this?" ”

The guard clasped his hands to his chest: "Lord Messenger, he has made a mistake, why can't I punish him?" ”

"What did he do wrong?"

"Don't you know what he's done, Your Majesty?" The guard smiled sinisterly, "Fortunately, I happened to pass by here and learned that the secrets of our reef country were leaked by this dog. ”

As he spoke, he walked towards Qin Changfu. Clapping his hands, about twenty guards with strong martial arts jumped out and surrounded him.

"What do you want?" Qin Changfu looked at these fierce and vicious guards, and thought to himself that although he was strong in martial arts, he was not the opponent of so many people.

The guard in the lead spoke, "Now that Lord Qin already knows such a big secret, in order to prevent you from telling this matter, you must listen to us. ”

"What do you want me to do?"

"Didn't you go to the Reef Country this time to implore our Majesty to let you take the lead in catching the water demon in the Demon Sea. Our Majesty agrees to your request, but after you capture the water demon, you must return to my reef country and become the imperial guard of my reef country. ”

Qin Changfu was stunned, he didn't expect that he would be snatched by the Ming Kingdom and the Reef Country, it seems that he still has a little ability. Still, he didn't want to stay in this unfamiliar reef country. Although returning to the Ming country means dealing with the second princess, the Ming country is his home, where there are his relatives and friends.

Qin Changfu planned to drag this topic first, and then figure out how to get rid of the difficulties of the Reef Country with the Emperor of Ming Kingdom after arriving in the Ming Kingdom. He sighed helplessly and said to the leading guard, "Since he is dead, please take me with you." ”

The leading guard looked at him suspiciously: "Follow me." ”

After walking through the winding and winding road paved with golden floor tiles like a labyrinth, Qin Changfu finally arrived at the Listening Rain Palace.

As expected, the emperor of the Reef Country really looked like a native of the Ming Kingdom.

"Lord Qin." Without waiting for Qin Changfu to salute, the emperor spoke first, "Welcome to our Reef Country." ”
